“Well, yes,” Sean agreed. “It does sounds difficult. Well-nigh impossible, perhaps. The cairn is, in fact, the only method we know of to drive the Dearg-due back into the earth and hold her there. She was said to come from Munster province, in the south of Ireland. The city of Waterford.”

“Where the crystal comes from?” Sophia asked.

“Yes. Waterford, where the crystal comes from,” Sean admitted the area’s more usual claim to fame. “The folktale explains that the landlord who killed her had her buried in a small cemetery under Strongbow’s Oak, a landmark associated with a twelfth-century hero. By now, of course, both the grave marker and the tree have disappeared, though some think they know which graveyard is the correct one.”

“So, in order to defend ourselves against this… this thing!” burst out Sophia, “we have to get someone to a cemetery that may or may not be correct and locate a grave that may or may not be under a tree that is long since gone and deposit a handful of stones on top of the grave…” Her sentence sputtered to a stop. She looked at all the faces gathered around the table.

“Ridiculous.”
